Everytime a new 2k is out John Wall has been always my pg. Just the explosiveness of his the great passer he is, and the great speed of his, and he can shoot too? Next year he will be a top 5 MvP candidate.
Tech Bully Ink lol... cp3. seriously? he has been on the slight decline 3 years running now. he has ALWAYS had more options than Wall. this isnt a moment buddy, Wall has been better than Paul the last 3 years. Chris paul has always had at least 1 other all star to play with. look at Walls number last 3 years and realize nobody (not even westbrook or harden) has averaged 20+pts 10+asst over a 3 year period since magic, then realize Magic had Worthy, and Kareem amung others.. Paul had West, then Blake, Jordan, Crawford.... c'mon youngin, this isnt even an argument. recognise greatness now, or realise you missed it later
All In he started to develop his shot 3 years prior to this playoff run in the 2013/14 season was when he made his first leap to a 20/10 level guy and shot 35 percent from 3 making over 100. In 2016/17 he actually dipped a bit in 3 percentage compared to some prior years but he was better in other areas, mostly just healthy, so those who didn’t follow as closely thought it was his first year as a good shooter *improved shooter
It was, in some ways, the best individual playoff run for a PG in the modern era. Here’s why: This playoff run was the only time in NBA history a player averaged 27 points or more with 10 assists or more across more than 10 games( wall did it for 13 games, no one else, at the time, had done it for more than a 5 game playoff appearance). Wall broke MJS record of consecutive playoff games over 20+ points and 7+ assists. MJs record was 7 games, Wall did it for 10( 11 if you include his last playoff game from his prior playoff appearance). Wall joined MJ and Bron as the only players ever to record 40+ and 8+ dimes on the ROAD in a game 6/7. I believe Durant just joined them last year? But I’d have to double check if it was on the road and if he got the assists. But either way, elite company. Wall led the wizards to a 25-0 run in one of the games, and it happened to be in a clutch moment. The wiz were down 0-2 to Boston. Wall dominates game 3, and then leads the 25-0 run to start the second half of game 4 and put the game away, while they had been trialing before the run! After tying the series 2-2 and then losing game 5 in Boston, Wall overcomes a cold first half while facing elimination for the first time all playoffs, and proceeds to drop 23 second half points AND hit the game winning, come from behind, 3 pointer with 3 seconds left. Oh, and it was in the face of the leagues best perimeter defending guard at the time Avery Bradley, AND the play wasn’t even run for him, but he saved the day by breaking off his assignment just in time to save Otto Porter from a 5 second count.( you know how everyone talks about how epic KDs game 7 was where he scored 20+ in the second half and hit a shot that ALMOST won the game while facing elimination? Well, wall scored 23 in the second half and hit a shot that DID win the game…yet that shot is literally the most overlooked most clutch shot in modern history. It wasn’t even on the list of top 100 clutch shots of the decade!) No one; I mean literally no one, has hit a miss-and-you-go-home, come from behind, game winning 3 in the final 5 seconds of a playoff game since Wall, and honestly I don’t even know when the last time someone hit one beofre him was. I believe it was Ray Allen’s VS the Spurs! And while that shot was much much more impactful and clutch, it only tied the game, walls won it. Wall also became the first player ever with a 40 point 13 assists 3 block 3 steals playoff game. I believe that still stands to this day. Sadly, he LOST, because the wizards had the worst bench in the playoffs and like his entire DC career, he didn’t have the elite supporting cast needed to compete with the #1 seeds he would eventually always lose to in all 4 of his playoff trips. A good example is the 44-5 bench deficit in game 7 against Boston. Just like the entire series, Wall led the wizards starters to vastly outscore the celtics, but the wizards bench was so bad( coaching as well) that it always cost them in the end. Can you imagine how different the narrative would be if Wall had actually got to play for the teams that Kyire, Steph, Russ, Harden and other top PGs from his era got to play with? I believe as far as my research that he is the only all-star ever to advance in the playoffs 3+ times without a single all-star, all-defense, 6th man, COtY GMoty, rookie of the year, etc. It’s crazy to think of all of the excuses made for elite teams who haven’t advanced in the playoffs, or sometimes even missed the playoffs. Then there’s wall, who wayyyyy overachieved playing for one of the worst franchises and GMs in all of sports, who somehow never ever ever ever got a break or had the benefit of excuses made for him.
Ballin Too Magic, Stockton, Oscar, Isiah Thomas, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, CP3, Bob Cousy, Nate Archibald, Westbrook, S. Curry......And Gary Payton is a 9x Defensive 1st team selection, DPOY, 9x All-Star and a NBA championship......So Gary Payton is a better PG that Wall.....There I gave you 12 PG better than J. Wall....Hell Kevin Johnson was better than Wall
I never realised how athletic this guy is before the playoffs. Westbrook is the one who comes to your mind when you think about the most athletic PG but Wall is not far behind. That speed though. How can you stop him when he is on fire? You just can't.
When you think about it on paper at the NBA combine Westbrook is not more athletic than Wall. They are the same size but Wall is faster, can jumper higher and is quicker. Westbrook is stronger and has bigger hands but when you think about the fact you can compare Wall's athleticism and size to Westbrook's or even Rose and he is a pass-first PG it's quite astonishing that he is so generous to his team. Besides Lebron he's probably the most unselfish freak athlete in the history of the NBA when you think about.
Bro, go check the NBA combine results. Common sense will tell you both of these niggas got bigger, faster and stronger since they were 19. BUT at the draft Wall had a higher vert 39inch to Westbrook's 37inch. And he has a faster agility drill times and 3/4 quarter sprint. At the end of the day Rose WAS the creme de' la creme athlete between the 3 before he got hurt anyway. Westbrook has unreal stamina and he plays with more reckless abandon but that doesn't mean he's more athletic than Wall cus' Wall like to pass and doesn't try to dunk on bigs.
Chilanta - Us Wiz fans know how great he is. I mean when you can flush it with the signature left hand on bigs it's speaks volumes when it's his off hand. Wall is great and works his magic with precision!
simple. they cant, and they know they cant. they cant hold a candle to tge wiz. too many options... celtics have one. starting 5 vs starting 5, not even close
John wall is a beast and wall is sick player with great skills and wall will hurt I.T. and company and I.T. will get embarrassed and wall is top five pg and idk why saying wall is not a superstar but damn that wall is a superstar and the wizards will beat the Celtics in six and wall will average 31 points in this series and wall is a playermaker and just nast af and wall will have great time toying with I.T. and that's a fact!
Jay Lee - Nah, Celtics gonna play him with that backup point guard. Can't think of his name but they will try to get in his head because that's the Celtics way of stopping him
eskoturn5000 Well idk about you but sports announcers and etc are saying wall is not a superstar and other ppl as well.. And tell ppl myself that wall is superstar and top five pg in the league imo and some ppl just now saying is a superstar and I'm just smdh at shit tho.. Wall is a beast!
Big John Wall fan but i feel like he faked his injury from the gate.I guarantee u he can come back and ball out...Rose never was the same after it thats the difference.Watch you'll see.
Piddles McGee in defense he destroyed schroder and the hawks defense , but in this series schroder expose wall defense too, wall is just a average/good defender, not a lockdown
he shot a lot of FTs and got hot from three. the Wizards let Dennis shoot a lot of them because he was only a 34% shooter from three on the year, and he msde them pay. Dennis played well above his skill level in this series, but that's not because Wall was bad defensively.
" You can't guard me. YOU CANNOT GUARD ME. It's Easy! EASY! "
This is so reminiscent of his high school/lockout dominance. Still has the best mixes imo
LeBeautiful Rs tho I'm looking and just thinkin "Word of God"
DB The GOAT thanks homie, amen to that 🙏
LeBeautiful i always see ur comments on the nba channel
Syed Haider me too
LeBeautiful he gave dennis a hardtime whole series
Everytime a new 2k is out John Wall has been always my pg. Just the explosiveness of his the great passer he is, and the great speed of his, and he can shoot too? Next year he will be a top 5 MvP candidate.
NightMare he was top 5 this yr low-key
/:
I love that move at 3:37. He was a blur, made something out of nothing and jammed it with his off hand. My favourite John Wall move of all time.
2023
This will be remembered as his peak, his prime. Such potential yet so unfortunate.
Best PG in the East. Top 3 PG in the NBA.
Dan Day best true point in the leauge. nobody makes their teammates better than wall
+vicmason25 ever heard of CP3, stop being prisoner of the moment
Tech Bully Ink lol... cp3. seriously? he has been on the slight decline 3 years running now. he has ALWAYS had more options than Wall. this isnt a moment buddy, Wall has been better than Paul the last 3 years.

Paul had West, then Blake, Jordan, Crawford.... c'mon youngin, this isnt even an argument. recognise greatness now, or realise you missed it later
THANK YOU!
gimme WALL, KOBE, DURANT, MALONE, JABAR ina 7 games series....put money on it
never seen a PG that loves dunking with left hand like this guy... best left handed PG dunker EVER!
Hope to see this Wall again still
🤔 2023
He's an All NBA player.
Smh he's been the most underrated player until now all of sudden ppl starting recognize his game
J Jack well he never had much of a mid range or 3 ball but now that's developed he's scary
All In he started to develop his shot 3 years prior to this playoff run in the 2013/14 season was when he made his first leap to a 20/10 level guy and shot 35 percent from 3 making over 100. In 2016/17 he actually dipped a bit in 3 percentage compared to some prior years but he was better in other areas, mostly just healthy, so those who didn’t follow as closely thought it was his first year as a good shooter

Crazy video I feel like I play like bro
This guy is a fucking freak of nature. Its gunna be tough to stop him this series. No question its going 7 games
good prediction
@@dannypetros3169lmao that series got me stressing for no reason
top 3 point guard period. easily top 10 point guard ever
Ballin Too ever? Boi stop
Bonk Caesar you brainwashed lmfao name me 10 point guards in history u rather have than "John wall" watch how foolish u would look lls
Bonk Caesar if u say Gary Peyton I'm not responding to u lls
Ballin Too Magic, Stockton, Oscar, Isiah Thomas, Jason Kidd, Steve Nash, CP3, Bob Cousy, Nate Archibald, Westbrook, S. Curry......And Gary Payton is a 9x Defensive 1st team selection, DPOY, 9x All-Star and a NBA championship......So Gary Payton is a better PG that Wall.....There I gave you 12 PG better than J. Wall....Hell Kevin Johnson was better than Wall
Bonk Caesar j Kidd same dude who couldn't shoot his entire career lmfao better than wall? L
I was at game 2 of this series. It was electric! Second only to game 6 of the Celtics series
Praying he comes back even better 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Damn he's soo fast, john wall is crazy holy shit
Dude can score at every angle
I never realised how athletic this guy is before the playoffs. Westbrook is the one who comes to your mind when you think about the most athletic PG but Wall is not far behind. That speed though. How can you stop him when he is on fire? You just can't.
D🌹 is the most athletic
I’m 3 years late but John Wall is playing in fucking Fast Forward while everyone is playing normal earth speed
Wall and wade have a lot in common when they start to go to the basket man they attack the rim with absolute recklessness lmao
Honestly, even though others have had great performances, Wall literally may have like the 5 best plays in the playoffs so far
I watch this 4 times a month
aye i like how you used the HS mixtape beat from john WOG days
GD deserves to be in the HOF of editing
Such a great player taken for granted
Not only is he a beast but he's stuck by the Wizards and helped build them he deserves a chip. Next 3-5 years I think he could get 1.
Bro that behind the back on Dennis and Dunk was NASTY!
Hope he gets back to this level
Miss the prime john wall
When you think about it on paper at the NBA combine Westbrook is not more athletic than Wall. They are the same size but Wall is faster, can jumper higher and is quicker.

Chilanta Westbrook jumps higher, and is quicker. You're tweakin.
Bro, go check the NBA combine results. Common sense will tell you both of these niggas got bigger, faster and stronger since they were 19. BUT at the draft Wall had a higher vert 39inch to Westbrook's 37inch. And he has a faster agility drill times and 3/4 quarter sprint.

Westbrook has unreal stamina and he plays with more reckless abandon but that doesn't mean he's more athletic than Wall cus' Wall like to pass and doesn't try to dunk on bigs.
Chilanta still not a pass first PG.
Chilanta - Us Wiz fans know how great he is. I mean when you can flush it with the signature left hand on bigs it's speaks volumes when it's his off hand. Wall is great and works his magic with precision!
Chilanta I agree on him being the most athletic unselfish player all time but he is not more athletic than russ u tripping lls
He’s so quick it’s like his legs are glitching
The great wall of DC is standing tall and strong and Celtics are toast.
Easily Top 3 PG
Sooooooooo underrated.
im a big cavs/kyrie fan but ddangg this man wall can cause some problems for us in a series... insanley nasty indeed
Celtics couldn't beat rondo how y'all gon beat Wizards?
No way they beat the wizards
simple. they cant, and they know they cant. they cant hold a candle to tge wiz. too many options... celtics have one. starting 5 vs starting 5, not even close
vicmason25 what was that?
vicmason25 lol you were actually right about this you just didn’t factor in the bench and the 44-5 advantage they were going to have in a game 7:/
HE AINT THE BEST GUARD IN JUST THE EAST NO MORE HE DA BEST IN THE LEAGUE
I hope they end up playing the Cavs, that'd be some good ball
Still watching
John wall is a beast and wall is sick player with great skills and wall will hurt I.T. and company and I.T. will get embarrassed and wall is top five pg and idk why saying wall is not a superstar but damn that wall is a superstar and the wizards will beat the Celtics in six and wall will average 31 points in this series and wall is a playermaker and just nast af and wall will have great time toying with I.T. and that's a fact!
Jay Lee - Nah, Celtics gonna play him with that backup point guard. Can't think of his name but they will try to get in his head because that's the Celtics way of stopping him
Young Den ok we'll see about that.. Wall is and will come through for the wizards.. So who you got winning this series?
What? The C's will put Bradley on Wall and IT on Beal most likely. Or Smart on Beal and IT on Porter.
Steve Aboagye The DC brothers will put a beating on the Celtics and wall and beal are one of the best backcourt nba duo's in the league.
eskoturn5000 Well idk about you but sports announcers and etc are saying wall is not a superstar and other ppl as well.. And tell ppl myself that wall is superstar and top five pg in the league imo and some ppl just now saying is a superstar and I'm just smdh at shit tho.. Wall is a beast!
6:43 That was insane
He balled.
That's my point GOD! :'-)
He needs to get signed
its time for wall to get his.
He just might be the best point in the east. You can argue Kyrie but john wall ate EVERY GAME. Nigga be snapping. Hes top 3-4 pg in the league imo.
man i feel bad for schroder in this series , couldn't keep up with my boy wall
Boston better respect his 3 point shot. He made so many cause they lagged off him.
Best pg in the east
I remember watching this feeling bad for Dennis lol.
If the wizards meet the cavs, it's going to a game 7 with like 17 overtimes in each.
wall looking like the holy rams mix tape wall, all he need to do is bring the shamgod back lol
Prob about two great highlights the rest regular 😉
This boy is nasty
He has higher Basketball IQ then Kyrie, IT4, and especially Steph
Julio!
3:40 Chill
2023!
Lakers bound!
We deserved Cavs vs Wizards in the 2017 ECF. IT was a cool story but The C's that year was probably the weakest 1st seed of all time
Damn he's nasty AF , cooked the hell out of Dennis , look at this shit 7:04 what the hell is that 😰
classic
Second best point guard in the league easy!!!
HollowKing first*
Az Savage sorry Westbrook is 1st
Not with that shot selection
Az Savage this was the year he won mvp😹
Name of the background music???
Only watched this just so I could see that Jordan shrug
what instrumental is that?
Hi..j
Hoop Mixtape holla at me
3 atl fans mad asf
3:35 thank me later
can u take off the music on these? Still fuck with the video tho
Big John Wall fan but i feel like he faked his injury from the gate.I guarantee u he can come back and ball out...Rose never was the same after it thats the difference.Watch you'll see.
He faked his injury and went thru the surgery and recovery? That's logical...
Prime D-Wade = Current J. Wall
blame it to howard! shit
Schroder got embarrassed in this series
Piddles McGee in defense he destroyed schroder and the hawks defense , but in this series schroder expose wall defense too, wall is just a average/good defender, not a lockdown
The noxious ruth curiously pump because offence gergely tow toward a cloudy astronomy. long, halting bedroom
I think he's a modern day dwane wade
His defense is overrated just like lebron's . They both can make athletic defensive plays like chasedown blocks but can't trust them on perimeter
Tech Bully Ink can't trust wall on perimeter do u even watch him play? fuck off lls
dennis schroeder averaged 24.7 points
he shot a lot of FTs and got hot from three. the Wizards let Dennis shoot a lot of them because he was only a 34% shooter from three on the year, and he msde them pay. Dennis played well above his skill level in this series, but that's not because Wall was bad defensively.
Did you watch any wizards games in the regular season?
he might be very good but wasnt in this series
he still can't shoot lol. but hes become a playmaker.
Caesar Farris he's been lighting it up in da playoffs, idc about regular season #'s
True. Wall is my guy i want the wiz to win. But they cant stop IT
It’s been 6 years and I’m still looking for the beat on this video, does anyone know?
They list the site in the beginning
This man was crazy during his prime wiz days 🤯
